Iraq demos are for the entire world. Vietnam is mainly the US.

" hypocrisy of the left being anti-war but pro-draft"
I told you; without a draft, there really isn't much of a peace movement. People get more motivated when it's their butt, or their kid's, on the line than when it's just volunteers.

"they would not want to force anyone "
We don't; we want to force everybody; politician's kids, millionaire's kids, talk show hosts, home run hitters,everybody who says, "support the troops". What better way to support troops than part of them? What better way to get talk show hosts to say they were wrong, and maybe war isn't such a good idea, than sending them a letter with their appointment for an induction physical? What could be better than watching some rabid winger flee to a socialist country like Sweden or Canada in order to avoid Iraq?
